James sent me a care package of corals a week or so ago. Yes, they are the reality, James, totally awesome. A few photos to share with y'all. First up, what the package looked like after the USPS got through with it. No holes, so didn't lose anything. First glimpse inside. "Wonderful things." Reminds me of a machined metal finish. Almost looks like tube agate Fireworks? Subtle Backlit Didn't mean to post this many of them, but had a hard time choosing! If you want to see them, here's a link to all of them on photobucket. Thank you again, James. I believe I'll be breaking my flat lap out today and play with some rocks. (Yes, Mike, I'll finish your cabs first, lol!) Jean

He does find some really nice mtl. and so unique to us from the other coast. Big of him to be willing to show and share. Looks like w/basketball season coming on, some post office person was practicing dribbling w/that box, rocks bounce poorly. Thanks for the show. Larry

Well, now we know why you have been making friends with and getting all giggly with James. Men are such suckers for a woman with a quick smile and funny jokes and ..... uh..... let me think for a minute. James sent coral to me a long time ago and... so.... uh.... NEVER MIND. Not Jim

wow, just one fantastic slab after the other. Like the one in the third picture and the fireworks best. But then again, there are far too many wonderful colors here to pick out something.
Thanks for sharing your treasures James. Lots of smiles to be had from all your good-will.

Not Jim Getting "giggly?" Whatever do you mean by that, Jim? You can't blame a gal for knowing how to get what she wants, can you? Just kidding! Y'all know that the people on this forum are the best, right? I've swapped stuff with a few people on here, we all do it because we like to! James, I'll scold Scott for you anytime, you don't have to send me something for that, lol!

I couldn't agree with you more Jean. I sent out several boxes this last week and pay backs came today in a medium and small box. It was so awesome that I choked up a bit. Can't describe just how awesome the people on here are and I want everyone to know how much I appreciate you all. It amazes me that I can feel so close to someone that I have never met in person. Being so isolated up here it is a long ways to go to meet just one person with the same passion for rocks.
Thank you all. Jim

Jim, you ALWAYS get back more than you give here. The people are why I'm here, and not "that other forum." Besides, James made me promise not to go there anymore. Where is Scott? All this talk of scolding, chastising, reprimanding, correcting, putting him in his place, etc. Must have him laying low.

There is no way he would be doing something constructive instead of gabbing with us. Jim

jackasses Guys, come on now, you know kidlet is playing club soccer. We had a double header today. We played high end teams and held our own for some time. But they both got the better of us in the end. We play at "silver" level and both of those teams were "gold" level. Given another day, we could have beaten both of those teams.

If you do not play against better opponents you never get any better. I'll bet they learned a few things that they will use in the future. You are a great dad for being there. Jim
